Top seed Cameron Norrie (AK) was bundled out of the National 14s in the quarterfinals in a thrilling match with Nick Brown (Waikato/Bays) at Scarbro Tennis Centre, Auckland. Norrie claimed the first set in a tiebreaker but then Brown used his left handed shotmaking to take the next two sets and the match. Brown is joined in the semifinals by fellow Waikato/Bays player Andrew van der Vyver who beat Southern's Harry James (pictured) in two tight sets. Sixth seed Joe Bray made sure Canterbury would be represented in the semifinals beating Alex Klintcharov convincingly while Lochie Kitchen from Whangarei played two marathon three set matches to set up a semifinal with van der Vyver.
Two of the girls quarterfinals ended in retirements after injuries to players who were leading in their matches. Yoanna Pechev was leading 75 02 when an arm injury forced her out of her match with fourth seed Deanna Haami. In a similar situation second seed Olivia Isbey was in complete control against Canterbury's Jessica Ottowa when a wrist injury forced her to conced the match. Top seed Monica Chen cruised through against Carli Davis and Danielle Feneridis, seeded five had an easy win over unseeded Cantabrian Beth Williamson.
